The Vaznev-9k is still the best submachine gun in COD MW2 Ranked Play, even with recent headshot damage nerfs to other top weapons. While SMG loadout strategies have stayed similar in Ranked Play since its release, new ideas and loadouts are constantly emerging each month.
In March, all underbarrel attachments were buffed for faster performance, and this has affected every SMG build. To optimize your loadout, we’ll provide you with all the essential details for creating the best Vaznev-9k build in MW2 Ranked Play.
So what is the best Vaznev-9k loadout in MW2? Let’s dive into it.
The best Vaznev-9k loadout in Ranked Play MW2 Season 3
Similar to previous SMG builds, we recommend using only four attachments instead of the maximum of five. Having a fifth attachment will cause imbalance and isn’t worth it. Instead, we suggest a combination of control and mobility with the remaining four attachments, which we’ve listed below.
Vaznev-9k Ranked Play loadout in MW2:
- Muzzle: XRK Sandstorm
- Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
- Rear Grip: Demo X2 Grip
- Stock: Otrezat Stock
For control attachments, we recommend using the XRK Sandstorm and the FSS Sharkfin 90 underbarrel. In the past, it was common to use only a muzzle or light grip. But with underbarrel changes, we suggest using a light version like the FSS Sharkfin 90 and pairing it with the XRK Sandstorm on the muzzle. This will give you optimal control without sacrificing speed on the Vaznev-9k.
Once you’ve chosen your control attachments, it’s time to focus on mobility. We recommend using the Demo X2 Grip rear grip and the Otrezat Stock for faster movement and snappier aiming. With these attachments, you can dominate in close quarters and stand up to the ARs in Ranked Play MW2.
Conclusion
This loadout is used by me and my three friends when we play ranked and it has been so consistent. I really would recommend it to anyone who wants a reliable Vaznev-9k loadout in Ranked Play.
